Sooo... Somebody opened a troll PR and an xAI employee merged it and then reverted it? How did that happen?
They seem to have deleted the PR now too. Here's the PR author on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/ens0.me/post/3lpch5vsqit2v
Readit NewsLearn about SpaceOS => Just goes to a page with no information on it...
Is it a ChromiumOS fork or something? Seems to only mention web applications and the only visible screens are a browser window.
I chatted with their team at some point; it's android

There's also simultaneous appreciation and aversion.
There's some experimental and challenging modern classical compositions that I can appreciate aesthetically but which are, at the same time, almost painfully unlistenable. Steve Reich's Four Organs is a good example [1]. It's music, I hear the structure of the music, my mood shifts with the music, yet after a few minutes... aaaaaaaaaaghh! turn it off!!!
In the dramatic arts, there's the whole genre of horror.
I'm fairly sure this extends to foods. Some people like to eat foods that are right on that threshold between triggering intolerable revulsion and excitement.
Krzysztof Penderecki is also on the list of revolutionary but unlistenable.
A funny game!
For anyone else struggling with the wordle, the answer is here[1].
For anyone else struggling with the country, you can fill in the names of all the countries, then run a bisection.
or you can look at the URL of the google maps embed in devtools then ask chatGPT either to give the location or just the latlong that you can subsequently google :)
Chatgpt got the location wrong just 1/4 times

demux commented on Valve is paying open-source developers to work on Proton, Mesa, and more old.reddit.com/r/linux/co... · Posted by u/raybb
If anyone from Valve is reading this, I'm not a gamer at all, but I bought a (fully loaded) SteamDeck largely to support your efforts, and secondly to have a cool portable computer. It is (in about a week) going to become a game console hooked up to my TV. I could have got an xbox for much less the price, but the openness, power, and linuxyness of the steamdeck was too attractive to pass up :-D
Please keep it up! you're the heroes we need in this fight.
P.S. I'll be buying games from your store also as my kids are gamers
Has anyone successfully run SteamDeck's version of arch on a pc for gaming+dev? I'm looking to do this but I'd love to hear anecdotes
demux commented on The strange case of Britain’s demise economist.com/britain/202... · Posted by u/sph
The article is part of the problem. UK politics and the media narratives around it have beeen utterly wrecked by the fight over Brexit and the attempts to give its creators the boot. For example, take this claim: "Investment is down and inflation higher than it would have been inside the European Union." The UK's inflation in the year to November 2022 was 10.7%, compared to 10.1% in the Eurozone. It just doesn't seem at all plausible that the UK would somehow have substantially lower inflation if it were in the EU, based on what countries actually in the EU have experienced, yet it's treated as so obviously true that only lying Brexiters would reject it.
This belief is boosted by the fact the British press only ever compares our inflation with France, which has the lowest inflation in Europe due to substantial nuclear generating capacity and energy subsidies funded through borrowing. Our government was attacked for attempting even a fraction of those energy subsidies to the point they did a U-turn because ultimately the public pays for it, but that downside is ignored when talking about France. They also also have substantially more national debt for obvious reasons... but luckily the UK national debt is usually only compared with Germany's.
Where are you getting the 10.1% figure?
The infrastructure to host the forges is still a problem yes, but PDSes are VERY trivial to run, they’re just a Node.js app and they have a Compose file to make running it a quick shell script to run. And they will always be free, Bluesky is well aware that making access to the platform a paid thing would kill the project outright, and even then the code is open source and in the process of being written up as an RFC, so… please fact check your comments before posting :)
